Matthew Garrett made a good point in the above blog post:
# And when you see behaviour that you think discourages others, call people on
# it. Even if nobody's behaviour changes as a result, you're sending a signal

While this discussion will have to end eventually it seems obvious to me that
leaving a message such as the one Peter wrote without any response is not the
way to do it.
